Report Digest

Package leak detectors are widely used to add quality control to packaging applications. These machines run several testing methods to check if seals, seams or closures on packages have leaks or pressure issues that may result into damaged or spoiled product through faulty seals or packaging. Seal integrity of packaging products can be compromised due to various factors including transportation hurdles, misalignment of heating element, and others, resulting in loss of protective atmosphere, reduced shelf life of products, and costly returns. Package leak detectors allow the detection of even the smallest leaks and have been established as an integral part of quality assurance for various packaging applications. Growing trends of adopting such equipment in wide range of industries including food processing, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, electronics and appliances to ensure seal integrity and product quality has led to development of global package leak detectors market.

Package Leak Detectors Market – Notable Developments

In May 2019, AMETEK MOCON, a leading player in package leak detectors market, announced the launch of two analytical instruments, Dansensor LeakPointer 3 and LeakPointer 3+, to detect leaks in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) packages by measuring escaping carbon dioxide from packages tested in closed control environment.

In October 2018, Sepha launched Sepha Multi-Q, its latest innovation for rigid and flexible packaging, at Pack Expo Chicago. The new multi-functional, non-destructive leak system offers all-in-one solution to test the integrity of all kinds of rigid and flexible packaging such as pouches, sachets, bottles, bags, trays, and devices.

In August 2018, Emerson introduced Rosemount CT4215 Food and Beverage Leak Detection System, designed to help assure quality and safety, maximize production volume, and to reduce waste for food and beverage products. The new equipment uses laser technology to detect leaks at a sensitivity as low as 0.3mm and automatically rejects any defective package without slowing down the production.
